The Testament of Sherlock Holmes leverages the advanced
visual technology of an all-new game engine, one developed to

and analysis of crime scenes, critical clues, and persons of
interest. A versatile new control system retains the intricacy and
involvement of a Sherlock Holmes adventure while making the
experience enjoyably accessible for console gamers. All of this --
in addition to a new lighting engine; various post-process image
effects; comprehensively motion captured characters; high quality
voiceovers; and expert cinematography -- make
The Testament of Sherlock Holmes the best-looking, most
intricately detailed interactive Holmes adventure ever!

Scrutinized by Scotland Yard, doubted by his stalwart companion
Dr. John Watson, and behaving more erratically than ever, Sherlock
Holmes is in what might be his darkest hour yet. His recent
triumph in the case of a missing set of priceless jewels has turned
to disaster; the necklace's owner accuses Holmes of returning a
forgery to him, and there seems to be no evidence at the ready to
clear his name. Has Sherlock Holmes become a criminal?
If he is indeed a thief, what else is he capable of? As the
questions and suspicions mount, will salvation be found or will
there be nothing to stop the famous detective's seeming descent
into darkness...
